Until Ling Yao silently accepted her good intentions, Hai Xiao Min finally heaved a sigh of relief. While he felt gratified in his heart, he also felt a bit of bitterness permeating through his.

Whether she admitted it or not in her heart, living by others was a tragedy in itself.

Night came, and the two of them slept in each other's arms.

In the darkness, a pair of deep black eyes suddenly opened.

Ling Yao sat up lightly beside Hai Xiao Min, his indifferent but sharp eyes looking down at the soundly asleep Hai Xiao Min.

Without disturbing her, he got up and silently stepped on the sand with his bare feet. His steps were steady and even. After a set number of steps, his toes just happened to stop in front of a lump of slightly protruding sand.

Squatting down on one knee, he brushed away the sand on the surface, revealing a simple tool for collecting distilled water. He turned around and looked in the direction of Hai Xiaomin, and he recalled what she had said during the day.

Is that so? Even she had to admit that he was the only one who could survive. How could he let down her expectations?!

Ling Yao took out the bottle with the water in it and placed it in his mouth...

Something went wrong with the important freshwater collection tool that sustained their lives!

"There's no adhesive, so the tool's seal isn't good." After the Ling Yao exam, this was the pessimistic result.

"Can you think of anything else?" Hai Xiao Min licked her lips, the lack of water made her body feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I'll try." Ling Yao sat down cross-legged and fiddled with some simple tools.

The results were not satisfactory, and the amount collected per day was less than before.

The only good news was that they picked up some more plastic garbage from the vicinity of the cobblestone beach and collected a few tattered collection tools. It was still the old saying, better than nothing.

He couldn't wait to dive into the sea and have a good drink. Fortunately, both of them were still sane and knew that drinking the seawater would kill them faster, so he restrained himself.

As the days passed, the days of waiting for help on the island were boring and torturous.

Every day, the two of them spent most of their time staring at the surface of the sea in a daze. Their mouths were so dry that they didn't even want to talk anymore.

Along the way, a ship passed by the distant sea. The two of them exhausted all their efforts in order to attract the other's attention, but it all ended in failure. They could only watch helplessly as their only hope of escape slipped away.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. After experiencing the huge gap between what they had hoped for and what they had failed to achieve, the two of them became more and more familiar with each other.

Perhaps he was afraid that the moment he opened his mouth, the last shred of hope would be shattered, and the faith in each other to continue on would be shattered …

If they were destined to be unable to leave this island, walking to the last moment in a calm and optimistic manner, it would at least be more pleasing to look at than the hissing and ugly appearance.

"Don't come with me today, just stay here and watch for any boats." Ling Yao was about to go fishing again. Seeing Hai Xiao Min's condition getting worse with each passing day, he could not bear to watch her torture him again.

Hai Xiao Min raised his head, wanting to smile with vigor, but when he opened his mouth, blood started to seep out from his dry lips. It was so painful that he grimaced in pain. His haggard little face immediately became comical and funny.

"Such an ugly smile!" Ling Yao snubbed in a bad mood. Did his body not know how painful it was?

Hai Xiao Min lowered her head in distress.

"Still going?" Silently, Ling Yao's tone softened.

"I want to go …" However, she was afraid of implicating him, so she replied without any confidence.

A slender, well-proportioned, five-fingered hand extended in front of her. The man's cold voice sounded, "You don't want to wake up?"

Hai Xiao Min couldn't help but laugh. Even if her lips were hurting when she smiled, she still couldn't help but smile and happily put her hand on it.

Ten days had passed and Hai Xiao Min's feet had almost recovered. She could jump now, but unfortunately, she didn't have the strength to jump.

Ling Yao was idle anyway, so he gave her a pair of shoes with tree bark and grass stems.

She said that she was the one who created it … Then there was no need to explain how ugly it looked. When she first got it, Hai Xiaomin was speechless.

Ling Yao quibbled that it was a matter of materials and didn't think that there was any problem with his skills at all.

Seeing that it was quite comfortable wearing it, Hai Xiaomin didn't expose him. After all, it was created by the General Manager of LY and was custom-made by hand. Hmm ~ It could be considered priceless, right?

Every day, Ling Yao would go fishing near the cobblestone beach, because Hai Xiaomin seemed to be addicted to it after learning the fishing skills on the first day. Every time, he would come along, and Ling Yao would patiently take the time to teach her, and the rest of the time, he would drive her aside to practice by himself, so as to avoid her running around randomly amongst the fish, delaying their meal.

As a result, Hai Xiao Min also had her own eating--Harpoon 2!

For the past ten days, he hadn't seen any blood. This was the spear's glorious battle achievement … Thinking of this, Miss Hai couldn't help but want to cover her face, indicating that she didn't want to mention the dark history.

It was unknown if it was because even the heavens couldn't bear to see it any longer, but in the midst of training separately from Ling Yao, for the first time ever, she had been hit by a needle!

"Huh? Haha ~ "Hai Xiaomin was overjoyed, raised her harpoon and waved it around, cheerfully shouting," Ling Yao! Look! I did it! "

Just as Ling Yuan was about to make his move, the little fish was scared away by the joyful cheers of the woman.

He let out a sigh of regret but didn't feel angry at all. Smiling lovingly, he looked at Hai Xiaomin. She was as happy as a child who hadn't grown up just because she caught a fish.

"I finally succeeded …" Hai Xiao Min was extremely happy. She held the fruit of her victory and ran towards Ling Yao's side. He stood where he was and waited for her, preparing to give her a reward as a teacher.

Hai Xiao Min was still a few steps away from him and wanted to continue talking to him. However, when she caught sight of something in the water, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she cried out, "Be careful!"

Ling Yao frowned as he lowered his head to look behind him. The light in his eyes immediately deepened.

It was a sea serpent, and while he wasn't paying attention, it had actually approached such a distance!

He didn't have enough time to react and could only see Hai Xiaomin struggle to swipe the harpoon across the water surface. Unfortunately, he was a step too late, the sea serpent swam very fast in the water, dodging the harpoon's range, and bit onto the outside of Ling Yao's calf!

"Ling Yao!" Hai Xiao Min was shocked, she threw her harpoon and rushed forward, in a hurry, she did not notice to step on the ground to slip, instead she jumped into the water awkwardly and quickly got up.

Before she arrived at the scene, Ling Yao attacked with precision and ruthlessness. He grabbed the seven inches of the sea serpent and pulled it out of the water, crushing it to death with his bare hands.

"Ling Yao, you were bitten by it?" Looking at the dead snake in Ling Yao's hand, Hai Xiao Min's eyes were wide open, filled with fear, hoping that what he saw just now was an illusion.

"A bite." This matter could not be hidden from him, and he still maintained his calm demeanor, "Let's go ashore first!"
